‘Several Others’ marks Whispering Sons’ first full-length since their 2018 debut ‘Image’. Having retreated to the Ardennes during the summer, the band took the strongest parts of their old work and refined them even further. Where ‘Image’ was theatrical and widescreen, this time around they focused more on their greatest strength – sheer, unpretentious intensity.
After their critically acclaimed first LP “Endless Party” released on Wool-E-Tapes (cassette) and Minimal Maximal (vinyl), Whispering Sons is returning with a two-track EP that sees the quintet keeping digging in an already very distinctive sound and vibe of their own that make them so recognizable and exclusive. Fenne Kuppens stark and warm vocals and lyrics are giving the finest polish to the bands’ cold sonic darkness. The two songs are giving a very strong idea of what the quintet is the best at, taking us into a wide range of emotions that won’t leave us heartless. While “Performance” has this quite lyrical and impetuous swirl, “Strange Identities” sounds and evolves in a more obscure and modest place. |
